I couldn't see any recent change to the search.php file itself, so I assume it has something to do with the layout.
Perhaps this is related to MDL-30340 , which has not yet been backported.

I have to get going to the night IMMEDIATELY, however the solution for this problem is simple.
Raj wanna turn it into a branch for me and peer-review?
If not no probs I'll do it tomorrow when I am online.
